Painting The Town Red

August 22, 2009

SUGAR GROVE, Ill.-- When it rains, it pours, and it's really pouring on the Euros right now. Moments after Helen Alfredsson failed to sink her par putt on the 14th hole to extend her and Tania Elosegui's match (match no. 9) against Michelle Wie and Christina Kim, Cristie Kerr holed out her approach on 12 for an eagle to bring match no. 11 back to all square. Before the cheers from that bomb had silenced, Brittany Lang sunk a 30-foot putt on 13 to give the Americans a 2-up lead in match 10.

Jerry Rich, the owner of Rich Harvest Farms, built this course to create his own Augusta after he was turned down for membership at Augusta National. Today, he's at least getting his own "Augusta roars."
